Belt Fed Posted May 16, 2019 Report Share Posted May 16, 2019 They are horrible already, got nearly 90 today and I had six ticks on me. skeeters are biting all day long. I figured they was going to be bad with all the rain. went metal detecting near a civil war battlefield, found what looks like a mini ball and a black powder revolver round. A buckshot and a flattened bullet. it's a horrible pic but they are solid white. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eat a pack of match heads. Old school matches, in the paper flip-open pack. Pack in every MRE. Every other day, eat a pack with the MRE. Just the match heads - don't eat the rest of the paper stick... Mosquitos, Ticks, Chiggers - don't wanna have anything to do with you, because you smell like sulfur. Yeah, you might stink - but the bugs don't fuk with you. At all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Belt Fed Posted May 16, 2019 Author Report Share Posted May 16, 2019 I heard vinegar will do it too. I usually spray with deet, but didn't think we was going to get in grass. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shooterrex Posted May 16, 2019 Report Share Posted May 16, 2019 My grandpa kept a salt shaker full of sulphur in the glove box of his truck. Sprinkled the sulphur on boots and ankles before going in the woods. No ticks or chiggers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
edgecrusher Posted May 16, 2019 Report Share Posted May 16, 2019 Permethrin! We use it with in our unit. Spray the seats of the cruiser, clothes and dogs. I try to find the pre mix but mixing isn’t difficult https://www.tractorsupply.com/tsc/product/happy-jack-kennel-dip-8-oz Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
